👉 Coercion is a legal concept in which someone else has to do something or give up something in order for another person to receive something. For example, if you want to borrow money from someone but they refuse because they can't pay it back, you have to ask them to repay the amount of money you borrowed. In this case, "coercion" refers to the act of asking someone else to do something that is not in their best interest or convenience.
